Existing law provides for the civil commitment of criminal offenders who have been determined to be sexually violent predators for treatment in a secure state hospital facility, as specified. Existing law authorizes the conditional release of a sexually violent predator under specified circumstances, and requires the State Department of State Hospitals to make the necessary placement arrangements to place the person in a community, as specified. This bill would prohibit the department or its designee from placing a person who has been conditionally released in a community if the person does not have housing in a qualified dwelling, and would define "qualified dwelling" to mean a structure intended for human habitation by one person or a single family and that is not within 10 feet of another dwelling.
